ABSTRACT

This chapter begins with a review of the divisions within the southern alliance in 1970. It discusses the causes of each of the types of political action, their consequences for the new order ideology, and the sources of new elements added to the ideology as the result of each type of action. The pact created a south American alliance aimed at more stringent monitoring and control of foreign investment. Leadership of the alliance as a whole was much more evident and important in the early 1970s than it had been ever before. Leaders tended to select themselves rather than be selected; nonetheless, in the early seventies some national governments and individuals organized the entire alliance to anticipate and employ the newly experienced economic vulnerabilities of the postwar system's supporters. The duties of third world states under "collective self-reliance" reflected the duties the nonaligned had said every state had at Bandung and earlier.
